Yes, it’s inspired by the the famous Italian confection of fruits and nuts. Company Founder Gary Erickson decided to create this version in honor of his early cycling adventures over Northern Italy’s Passo di Gavia.

Wouldn’t it be cool to see bars go a step further, into more flavor realms, using herbs and items from outside the usual Willy Wonka cranberry almond coconut nuts and seeds ingredient list? Chipotle lime, thyme infused, maybe not even sweet? Mmmm, seared ahi energy bar. (Kidding on the one).
